So if the president's stance on immigration and spending upset you - and they do upset me - what are you going to do about it? Stay at home? Nothing could be worse for conservativism. Your non-support will usher in more immigrants, higher taxes, and weaker national security.

Nonsense. Taking votes away from the GOP is the only way to incentivize it to move rightward, in order to regain our votes. If the GOP knows they'll get conservative votes no matter what, then it is only incentivized to move leftward in an effort to get 'centrist' votes.

If the GOP loses Congress, George W. Bush will be removed from office.

Also nonsense.

Logic has no place in this debate.

I will hold my nose and vote for Robin Hayes. I will not stab my former soldiers in the back by helping to elect the 'cut and run Dems'. I won't allow them to waste the blood of my former battle buddies. Vote 3rd party if you wish or don't vote at all if you must. But when the Dems gain their majority and our proud men and women are forced from the field of battle against the Fascists. Please remember remember this in the future. Churchill mentioned something about "This being their finest hour!" It will be past tense rather than future tense if the Dems take either house. So it maybe futile, but i'll soldier on.

So whats your solution, hand the power over to the Dems and hope they f@#k up the country enough that people will move to the right? Do you also support blowing up a few more buildings in NYC to get people to understand why we need to fight the WOT?

While I agree the current administration is not even close to representing their base, sometimes you have to vote for the lesser of two evils. So go ahead and vote 3rd party if you feel you have to, just don't come complaining on these forums when the country is run by the RATs.

Must deduct two points for your use of the word, "incentivized"

Then I have to deduct 98 points for yur logic.

Sorry, but that leaves you with a grade of zero.

And in the meantime, while they're out power, the Democratic Congress can do a great deal of damage to this country - damage that can not be undone overnight. Don't believe me? Look at what four years of Jimmy Carter did to this country - we're paying for his mistakes to this day.

This theory was tried from the 60s to the 90s. Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

~~~Also nonsense

This could very well happen. It's Bush's decision. He can change RIGHT NOW. But he chooses not to. He needs to build the fence, and cut back on this drunken spending.

Does he need $6 BILLION helicopters more than the nation needs the fence? Again, it's his choice.

Is that what you folks really want? Because that's exactly what you'll get.

I'm afraid many of you "I'm taking my ball and going home" crowd have very short memories. I don't think you realize just how dangerous the Democrats can be.

The Jihadists know full well that the dems will do nothing to protect this country from another terrorist attack.

The Mexicans know that the dems will allow even MORE illegal immigration.

The liberals know that the dems will raise taxes and spend even MORE money that George Bush has done.

And you and your crowd are doing everything you can to help them.
